2nd Gen. Plywood and Perspex bowls

After seeing similar designed bowls on another web site (they were turned with Corian) I decided to have a go using perspex and plywood. Seemed simple enough, cutting 8” x 8” plywood and perspex, cutting out the centres, arranging the pattern and then gluing them into an 8” cube. Found that a polyurethene based glue worked on both media (always used the glue in a well ventalated space) I did the gluing outside in the open air.Clamped the cube for 24 hours and then cut across diagonally with the band saw and as in pic 6 you have two hollowed bowls in the rough. I trimmed up all the excess wood to make it easier to turn. Main cutting chisel used was a sharp scraper at a reasonably slow speed. With a scew chisel any catch will dig in and chips the perspex.I am pleased with the first rersult but next attempt I will take more time and care and maybe follow instructions.

CAN THE ADMINISTRATORS EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE POSTING PROJECTS. THIS IS THE EIGTH ATTEMPT TO GET THIS ONE DONE.

Thanks for the comments, was an enjoyable project and have started on another. To cr1 we do use perspex out here in Oz although some outlets call it various names. I believe you ahh-muri-kun’s call it plexiglass.
